Arrived at Kinneil this morning just as the tide was coming in. Hundreds of waders including Black tailed Godwits and Knot were feeding on the mud. Further out, around thirty Pintail were in the river channel. Meanwhile the Green winged Teal was behind the hide and twenty three Scaup were at the eastern end of the bay. A Greenshank (below) was feeding quietly in the lagoon channel while thirty five Greylags and two Buzzards flew overhead.

.

Over at Linlithgow Loch, the female Smew was out in deep water and other interesting birds included the lone Shelduck, a few domestic mallards, nest-building Coots and Little Grebes and displaying Great crested Grebes. Heading back over to Bo'ness, a Kestrel flew off from the top of a telegraph pole.

In Edinburgh, two pairs of Canada Geese and one pair of Greylags (but no Iceland Gulls) were on Dunsapie Loch. Nearby were two Bullfinches, and a single Fulmar was soaring along Salisbury Crags.
